Well, the winger cookout is done, cheesecake delivered. Made $10+ ingredients, so I'm making myself a plain cheesecake as a reward. 
I got some yummy caramel topping and some yummy blackberry topping... heavenly, fat-laden bliss.
So, I'm spent, man. Anyone gonna hang here and talk about nothing in particulate?

Plain cheesecake huh? Are we using the neufanshel cheese or the full strength cheese?
And, are you using the Egg Beaters or real eggs?

Over at littlegreenfootballs the lizards have closed ranks around 'realwest' who posted this lie:
#87 realwest 3/11/2005 09:48AM PST
#18 Iron Fist - What you said, in Spades. My Dad, who was 79 at the time, just happened to be there when the rescue workers were running into the ruins, so he started to go in to help what everyone believed were still living people. A Port Authority P.O. tried to keep him out saying he was too old and would only get in the way.
Then the Port Authority cop turned back to business and my Dad rushed in. They never found him. Or his body. One of my Dad's friends was with him and told us the story. It's why I can't look at the 9/11 photos anymore.
Problem is, there was only one 79 (or even close) man killed at the WTC, not on an aircraft, and it ain't 'realwests' father. They were challenged about this in the comments on Kevin Drums blog and the lizards did their usual 'swarm' of threats and vile language. What is so interesting is that just like Dubya, LGF takes its whole reason for being from 9/11. And they trumpet how they are 'fact checkers'. Well, not when it's one of theirs. 'Realwest' is part of the inner circle there and they're giving him a pass. Is there anything lower than lying about a parent dying at 9/11 to pump up your status on a blog?

Sorry, Yellow Ball is finished, and I was just forwarding a review of a local dive that is deep into crawfish season. Many, many crawfish here in the land of canals - and this dive is run by folks from New Orleans, so.... Etoufee all around!

still 2 & half hrs of work, but I'm declaring beer thiry now.
steve,
I remember watching his show live when Hulk Hogan injured him in a wrestling move.
That was not, needless to say, yesterday.
Blogwhore: I Can't Find This Story On CNN
I thought Belzer was great on Homicide. He's also very good when he's on Real Time. Very sharp and funny. He's beem one of my favorites for a long time.
patriotboy:
I'm not so sure. He was definitely
a Red in the original version,
and I'm pretty sure he was in
the Billy Wilder version as well.
I think they backed off from making
his girlfriend a hooker in His Girl
Friday, however.
NYMary-i never had pergo, but i did have a parquet type floor that was just terrible and looked like hell after a few months. i don't think it is the same material. i'm so helpful. you ask about pergo, and i tell you about something completely different!
NYMary:
Yeah I saw that show too. I was...
what....fifteen?
Patriotboy:
Send me your e-mail and I'll send you
a screamingly funny Belzer MP3 also
starring Christ Guest and Bill
Murray.
You could be right Steve. It's been awhile since I've seen any of them and the last one I saw was the Burt Reynolds thing.

I'm guessing maybe 1981? Early, early cable, anyway.

I made this website as some sort of Blue State mission statement. How successful it is is I guess up to how good an idea it is?

I need home improvement advice: has anyone tried Pergo in the kitchen?
NYMary - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Don't DO IT!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's made of PAPER WITH A PICTURE OF WOOD ON IT.
Honest, your local home depotesque place will sell you wood for the same price, lock in and snap together - riding on a nice underlayment, it's heaven, it's like having a sprung dance floor underfoot whilst you wash the dishes and mind the kinder. AND, AND, when you drop the COSTCO size jar of mayonnaise??? It just sort of bounces and rolls. GET WOOD OF ANY KIND. MACHINED, COMPRESSED, LAYERED, WHATEVER. Pergo isn't very good, actually.
Can you tell I've lived the experience? Trust me - I had the best kitchen floor in my life instaled by a couple of very high ranking American Express technologies specialists - it was a GREAT FLOOR. I could have worked all day standing on that floor. And I bought all the components - WOOD - at Home Depot and brought it home myself.
NO PERGO.
NYMary, maybe this will help

How do you really feel?
Seriously, that's why I'm asking. It's okay in the living room, but I take your general point.
getting advice from expert now.
can't refinish it and it depends on traffic.
supposed to have a good manaufactur's warranty.
but if GWPDA has had it and hates it, well, then I bow to her knowledge.
His Girl Friday. I love love love love love that movie. When I was just a teen, I wanted to be Hildy Johnson, muckraking lady journalist. Is it on? What channel?
See, this is what worries me:
will resist water damage from everyday spills and damp mopping when water is promptly removed.
NYMary-
now expert says, go with hardwood, nothing beats the wear of genuine hardwood.
of course, i prefer ceramic tile, but that's not what your asking about either.

I'm skeptical, but what a cool toy!

Yeah,
you gotta clean your shit up if you're going to have wood in a bathroom or kitchen. if you leave those little pee pee drops (if you're a guy) on wood... around the toilet, it gets a little... how shall we say... nasty.
I have ceramic tile now, but I dislike it a lot. It's freezing cold, and some of the tiles have cracked.

Thirty years ahead of its time.
Thanks, her eyes! We're so relieved that the weather finally broke.
I have vinyl tile in my kithcen in a black/white checker pattern... pretty typical. It shows dirt pretty bad. It's ok for about 5 days after mopping but after that... looks kind of "crumby."
thanks, steve.
"so long, you wage slaves."
btw, NYMary, Rosie is very cute in the picture! looks like spring is finally getting to you!
Rosie is cute in every picture. Almost makes me wish Mr. TJ and I hadn't decided that my 2 boys were enough.
NYMary, YOU WILL REGRET TO YOUR DYING DAY INSTALING PERGO IN A KITCHEN OR BATHROOM.
There's lots of really good engineered wood with very high quality plastic coatings available at Home Depot or Loews - Bob Villa recommends several. The issue is being able to do the instal - and the truth is that if a bunch of Amex engineers could do it, you can do it. All that's required is a nice supply of the underlayment and a whole hell of a lot of wood glue. But wood, real wood, not paper with a picture of wood, is what you want. It;s just as easy to put in, but, God forbid, you do something bad to it, you can sand it down and fix it. More critically, it doesn't worry about getting wet. I HAVE DROPPED LARGE JARS on real wood with an underlayment and they have just sneered at me. I have MOPPED EXCESSIVELY and it has lain there, sturdily. Believe me. Pay the two dollars. Buy the engineered real wood and forego the Pergo.
yes, we had a simply magnificent day here today as well, and spring takes forever to get here!
She's growing! Enjoy every precious moment with her and don't blink because that is how quickly it passes.
Oh. my. god. Cary Grant was absolutely dreamy in this movie.
Darn no TCM (Turner classic movies-TJ)
on the cable package at chez kent W. But Mr President (his dark grey cat) is talking to me about something.
But Lewis Black is on Cspan.
Her eyes, I with ceramic as well, but GW makes some good points about wood with a good underlayment.
anyhoo, howdy all, and alas Black has finished, Cheney and wolfowitz are in attendance at the Radio and Television coorespondent's dinner.
NYMary this will resist water damage from everyday spills and damp mopping when water is promptly removed. is just what it means. Promptly... it helps to catch it before it even hits the floor.
Water will ruin it in a heartbeat. Use real wood.
I've had Pergo in my house for 9 years, and we love it. I installed the snap-lock Pergo for a professor friend in his home a couple years back, which included his bathroom. He had some reservations about running it along his shower. I ran cove moulding along the shower, and still have no issues with delamination or swelling.
I'd still rather have solid oak, or maple flooring, but at the added labor of sanding and finishing - Pergo is well worth the money in my opinion.
Just don't buy it at Home Depot.
NYMary, right now I've got saltillo in the kitchen. It was a design issue more than anything else. You drop stuff on an saltillo tile floor, and it BREAKS INTO TINY LITTLE PIECES. So much for ceramic tile. Vinyl? Okay, but it peels. The absolute best, no lie, best kitchen floor is a sealed cork. Think you can find that at Binghamton Flooring? Sure. The second best is an engineered clip together wood with a heavy duty underlayment. Wood is good. Wood, with a life of children who drop things is especially good.
Now that oldwhitelady knows music. Done found herself some Tom T.
Wood is good. Wood, with a life of children who drop things is especially good.
and if i might add, cat yak cleans up fairly easily as well.
get the pre-finished and it is easier to install.
"I'd still rather have solid oak, or maple flooring, but at the added labor of sanding and finishing - Pergo is well worth the money in my opinion."
True enough, but the industry has advanced - and there are multiple varieties of Pergo-esque WOOD flooring that will do beautifully - with enough real wood on the surface so if something awful happens you can sand it down. Pergo? You sand it, you're looking at Kraft paper. Bob Vila!
Heard Dr Dean say Bullshit on cspan
Ron Silver and Ollie North t the fox news tent.
OK must be something better on.
GWPDA,
Yes, the shatter factor is my other issue with the tile. Plus standing for a longish time while cooking. The Pergo does have some give, that much is true.
NY Mary
No pergo in kitchen. really. I put it in my renovated kitchen and it was divine to look at, and with the extra cushioning I had installed, I could chop onions and peel potatos for hours without 'lead feet'.
But the ice dispenser has a nasty habit of dropping cubes stuck in the chute in the middle of the night onto the laminate floor. Water soaked in, now have bulges and warping where cubes melted, plus where some leakage from the washing machine spilled out into the kitchen while I was out of the house for 2 hours.
Once swollen, it never ever looks right again.
Once I get the roofs replaced, I'll start saving to put in some real solid wood flooring in the kitchen. Real wood floors can handle water better, and if worse comes to worst, you can always sand/plane/stain and repair.
A contractor friend is all hot about bamboo flooring, but it only comes in 2 'natural' colors, neither of which would look right in my kitchen.
I never thought I would learn so much about flooring.
Bamboo flooring is supposed to be much better for the environment because bamboo grows so quickly, if I understand what I've read about it correctly.
"Yes, the shatter factor is my other issue with the tile. Plus standing for a longish time while cooking. The Pergo does have some give, that much is true."
Baby, it's not Pergo, it's click together flooring with an underlayment. That's what I'm trying to tell you. REAL WOOD flooring now is available that has an underlayment, can be clicked together and will not do any of the very, very bad things Pergo does.
Get the wood variety. You won't regret it - it's heavenly, I promise.
GWPDA,
Duly noted, my sister. I'll price it for sure.
NYMary! I had my engineered wood floor instaled the same year Arthur came to live with me. HE LEFT NO MARKS ON IT. He scrambled across it, he pawed at it, he ate on it, he spilled whole bowlsful of water on it - nothing happened. Bellawood, Bob Vila - they are absolutely right. Anything that I can stand on for hours, cooking jam and whatever, anything that Arthur can scratch and pick at forever with no consequence - this is good stuff. NOT PERGO. ENGINEERED WOOD.

Scenes From "The Culture Of Life"
I've seen that engineered wood (all wood, not a 'reasonable fascimilie' - aka pergo, etc). I've yet to encounter any installed, or anyone who has installed it.
I can say this for Pergo.. I was installing the cove mold at my ceiling line, and dropped my hammer - which bounced off it a few times.
Not a mark to be found. And, thats the same 23oz Estwing I frame with too. 1 hammer, all jobs.
Bamboo flooring is the right decision for anyone regardless of what's going to look right in your kitchen or whether you have to clean up your spills right away. Anyone who is liberal enough to be writing at Atrios, should be liberal enough to realize that a crop like bamboo that can be harvested yearly (as opposed to timber... or even worse, rainforest hardwoods) is exactly the type of product we need to be supporting. Americans are so goddam reliant on the conventions of commercial industries. Put down whatever floor you want... just clean it properly and it doesn't matter if it's in the kitchen or wherever. Are you people working with hydrochloric acid in these kitchens for chrisake? Get the bamboo.
Gee, more Republicans who deny the 14th Amendment has any actual meaning in American English. Well, the Constitution as a whole, when need be.
I like the funny costumes and new form of fulminations. I just can't figure out why anyone considers them Americans.
barndog, what about two hopeless idiots who are incapable of installing their own floor?
We still have value as humans, but...not insofar as the ability to install flooring is concerned.

"I've seen that engineered wood (all wood, not a 'reasonable fascimilie' - aka pergo, etc). I've yet to encounter any installed, or anyone who has installed it."
Barndog! ME!, ME! Well, my Amex buds and Me. Took us two and a half days, a breeze, and I lived with it in my kitchen for nearly three years, dropping without breaking, sluicing down, spilling, Arthur scratching, you name it. Damn. Good. Stuff. Wouldn't have touched Pergo on a bet. I swear I could have done the Dance of Love on that floor, while making Desert Gold peach jam. And quite possibly, if I'd thought to put one up, making a series of competitive slam dunks. It's the UNDERLAYMENT! Like the very finest dance floors you've ever touched a tootsie on.... Pergo? Pfui!
April has been berry berry good to me.
The first of the month, I won an almost new Wacom graphic tablet on eBay for a pittance.
A few days later, I found an Apple Extended keyboard at the local Goodwill.
Best. Macintosh. Keyboard. Ever.
A few days ago, in one day on eBay, I won a red amplified handset for the phone on the computer desk and an old TI-30 calculator, the guts of which were used to repair my equally old Texas Instruments SR-40 calculator.
Yes, it has been a wonderfully retrotech month so far, here at Chez Tucker.
Oh, and Bush getting booed in Rome was pretty spiffy, too!
Speaking of retro... NYMary jogged a brain cell loose in my ripening noggin, and made me unearth this little slice from my past, circa 1987:
colored mousse
.
Stay away from cork floors unless you put claw caps on the cats. My builder warned me on that one. JUST enough resistance to make scratching really fun.
Luckily, by the time we got down through 2 layers of ugly linoleum and the plywood the original maple floor was in good shape. I love not having to make decisions.
